"a straight forward
well-crafted story line with excellent musicianship. The romantic comedy
interplay is amusing enough not to be overindulgent, but with sufficient heart
to be affecting when it matters... Insane in London can't
miss and the reasons are four - Kieran Butler, Michelle Wilson, great songs and
sufficient comedy between numbers to hold the show together. The duo's charisma
grows on you. By the time it's over, it's too late; you've had a good evening's
entertainment. Butler and
Wilson play each moment without ego and with total candour, and that's
ultimately the secret to the duo's success. They're smart, funny, amiable and
far more powerful than one would initially suppose. Some shows are critic proof
- some for the right reasons, some for the wrong ones. This one falls into
the former category."

WHIMSICAL
TRICYCLE ON THE ROAD 2004 & 2005

'Kismet: a reality musical' went on to tour Germany and
Portugal in 2005 after debuting at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 2004.

The
show was performed in Frankfurt and Hamburg in February 2005 and received
substantial media and press attention. The show in Frankfurt coincided with a
night when the city was covered in 6 inches of snow, but this did not stop
nearly 100 people turning out for a night of story telling and original music
from Kieran Butler and Michelle Wilson. Listeners to independent radio station,
Radio X, were treated to a live performance of 'Two sisters from Keri
Keri' a couple of hours before the show.

In Hamburg, the show was performed to over 200 people at the famous Markthalle
as part of a benefit concert for victims of the tsunami in Sri Lanka. The money
raised bought two fishing boats which will provide an income for two whole
families.

Another highlight of the tour was a marathon five hour gig at An
Sibin Irish pub in
Frankfurt. This included two encores and a standing ovation from an enthusiastic
crowd who kept Kieran and Michelle on stage for a two hour final set of original
and covers material.

A selection of songs from 'Kismet' were performed in May, 2005, at a packed in store appearance at FNAC in Lisbon,
Portugal.

In 2001,
Kieran and Michelle played together as part of the popular Melbourne based
Celtic rock band 'The Mulligans'. They were reunited at the 2003Edinburgh Festival Fringe. They returned to the 2004 Edinburgh Festival
Fringeto launch their unique brand of original songs and storytelling.
Their debut show ‘Kismet: a reality musical’ was bold,
adventurous; and based on the theme of destiny.

'Kismet: a reality musical'
subsequentlytoured the UK,
Germany, Portugal and Australia in 2004 and 2005. The song ‘Kismet’
received airplay on BBC Scotland and Channel 31, Melbourne.

In 2005 Whimsical Tricycle were also the creative force behind a comedy song called 'Buckfast'. It was
recorded in Scotland and video clip was made in Edinburgh by director Mark
Taylor from Capture UK. Click

in The Scottish Sun and Metro newspapers. Noise Magazine gave
‘Buckfast’ a 3 star review: “Hilarious...
very catchy... compares well to anything else in the charts”

In late 2005 Kieran and
Michelle returned to Australia where they worked with comedian Greg Fleet. They
produced the music for his song ‘The Un-Australian Anthem – A new song for
QANTAS’. They performed the song live with Fleet and Mick Moriarty (GUD,
The Gadflys) at the 2006 Melbourne International Comedy Festival Gala.
